Company Law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the Balance sheet date, and of its incoming resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year.
In preparing those financial statements, the Directors/Trustees should follow best practice and
- **a.** Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- **b.** Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- **c.** Follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements.
- **d.** Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Directors/Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them as Directors/Trustees to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Company Law.
The Directors/Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other regularities.

## Trustee/Director
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees / Directors**
## change date each year
We report on the financial statements of Finegrant Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
